Starting each day with breakfast at the Islesford Dock Restaurant



Planning the day's activities...



OK, how about we go out to The Station?



The perfect venue to await the hurricane !



Some inspirational words...












And now down to the business of the day...












And a wonderful lunch provided by the Islesford Dock Restaurant !






Think we brought enough crab salad?















A little show 'n tell..



The afternoon session back at the Dock



Getting a fresh start out of the building wind...



and another !









Checking out the paintings before the gala evening



OK, but don't talk for more than 10 minutes...



The painters gather...












Ashley and friends...



Now, a little time to shoot the breeze...






And let the banquet begin !






Not too shabby a sunset...



And the support team...



The Grand Finale - both authors reading !



And no shortage of Ashely's books

Canvas on the deck and brush by the tip...









And there you have it: well on its way...



OK, first project: let's start small - high horizon and low...



A little Later: First Critique














      

      
































The usual fun lunch and dinner discetions of the day...
